Temperature dependence of compression of natural rubber-sulfur vulcanizates of high sulfur content

Abstract

Measurements are reported of the compression of rubber-sulfur vulcanizates in the temperature range 10 0 to 81.5 0 C between pressures 1,000 and 10,000 at~ospheres .. Sulfur contents varied from 10 to 28 percent. Emp~rical isother~al compressIOn equatl~ns are derived. Empirical isobaric equations are denved for speCific vol.ume. From t he Isobars empirical equations of state (press ure-volume-temperature) are denved.
